Bingka Kacang Hijau Kukus

 I had been craving for this Malay kuih and made it many times in the past using the recipe in here, which is my favourite recipe. I just don't need to try other recipe because it is very good already for my taste bud. However, I cannot stop the curiosity in me to try this other recipe that calls for tapioca flour... I imagined it must be chewy and sticky... The outcome was really surprising and I'm so glad that I did try it. The texture is soft and bouncy (just like mochi) and the taste is delicious with lovely aroma of coconut cream. It is gluten free so I could eat on and on without feeling any guilt!

Tapi kan, curious pula nak cuba resepi yg ini sebab ia guna tepung ubi... dok terbayang mesti kenyal2 kan. Bila dah siap masak, tak sabar nak rasa.... aduhai sedap nyaaa.... memang kenyal tapi kenyal2 manja gitu dan tak melekat di jari.... lembut jer tak liat pun. Rasa nya pun cukup rasa lemak, harum kacang hijau dan lemak santan.

Jom kawan2 cuba buat... rugi tau kalau tak rasa.

Pavlova Nests

   Entertained my niece's request... These beautiful little nests are melt-in-the-mouth dessert which will be fast gone before your guilt... Although it is sugar based dessert, don't you worry about the calories... it is far lower than any other cakes that I've ever made so far. Try it and it will worth all the effort... once your teeth clench into it you will be allured by the crunchiness and yet soft like marshmallow in the inside. It is air light that you hardly taste the sweetness... enriched with well balance taste of whipped cream, assorted fruits and organic sourish jam sauce. So irresistible and one piece is definitely not enough for me.... LOL!

Yields: ~16 nests
INGREDIENTS:
90g      Egg Whites
½ tsp   White Vinegar
85g      Granulated Sugar*
½ tsp    Cornstarch*

            Whipped cream, Fruits, Jam sauce

Best Ever Buttercake


Year end is approaching very soon then I realized I had only one entry this year which was in January…. indeed it was such a long break. There are many recipes to share but I still have not sorted many things in my new place yet and most of all still unable to get Telekom Malaysia to fix my phone line… what a pity… almost three years my application still not processed despite many follow ups. Can you believe that I'm living in the middle of Taiping town but unable to get a telephone line with so many excuses that hard to understand…. 

Anyway, while I have this little opportunity let’s focus on the food instead of the miserable phone line story…

It was my mother’s 78th birthday recently and her choice is always homemade butter cake. This recipe is a keeper and have been served few times in the family…. simple and buttery taste with soft and moist texture.

The difficult part (or rather easy part?) she dislikes creamy or buttery icing! The difficult part is how to make it special for the occasion or at least presentable if it is simply a bare cake? Of course it will be easy if it is simply bare…. So, this time I came up with caramel icing which matched very well with butter cake. It was a delicious topping and lickable…. LOL. I didn’t have the time to put up a fancy decoration but store-bought flowers were enough to make my mother smiled on the day…. 

Simple birthday morning in a beautiful green scenary of Taiping Lake garden:
 Here is the recipe:

Source: Azie Kitchen
(Translated into English by HomeKreation)
Yields: 8” round or 8” square
INGREDIENTS:
250g Pure Butter
250g Self-raising Flour
180g Caster Sugar
4 Eggs
½ cup Fresh Milk

METHOD:
1.       Beat butter & sugar until pale & fluffy.
2.       Add egg, one by one, until combined in each addition.
3.       Mix in flour alternately with milk.
4.       Bake at 180C for 40 minutes.

The caramel icing is quite a long step... I'll share that in next post if anyone interested...
